Dear Ms. Blye:
I refer to your letter to Mr. Fujio Cho, dated November 1, 2006, relating to Toyota Motor Corporation’s (“Toyota”) response letter dated September 22, 2006.
Set forth below is our response to your comment to our response. For your convenience, we have repeated your comment in bold type prior to our response.
General
1. | We note your response that “almost all of” your sales in Iran were sales of vehicles. Please tell us the nature of the other products sold in Iran and whether, to the best of your knowledge, understanding or belief, they include any products that might be deemed to involve dual-use technologies. |
Toyota’s net sales in Iran during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006 amounted to approximately ¥8.2 billion, almost all of which were sales of vehicles. The other products sold in Iran, which represented approximately ¥60 million of the total of approximately ¥8.2 billion, consisted entirely of automotive parts for vehicles. To the best of our knowledge, understanding or belief, these automotive parts for vehicles do not involve dual-use technologies.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have additional questions or require additional information.
Very truly yours, | ||
